Podcasts about real estate brokerages

Can you build a billion-dollar brokerage by saying “no” more than you say “yes”? In this episode of the Real Estate Excellence Podcast, Tracy Hayes welcomes Corey Hasting. Corey opened his first Engel & Völkers shop in Jacksonville Beach on April 30, 2018. Since then, Corey has opened 3 additional shops located in Amelia Island, the Beaches Town Center and St. Johns Florida. Since opening Corey has recruited over 80 top producing advisors who should sell more than $700,000,000 in volume and over 1500 transactions in 2021. Corey has been awarded countless awards since opening the Jacksonville franchise including being a member of the class of 2020 for the prestigious 40 under 40 list by the Jacksonville Business Journal and in 2021, Engel & Völkers Jacksonville, under Corey's leadership was awarded the 12th fastest growing company in Northeast Florida and the #1 fastest growing Real Estate brokerage by the Jacksonville Business Journal. Corey fosters a high-performance culture, the non-negotiables he upholds in agent recruitment, and how technology—especially AI—is being used to empower advisors. From managing listings that linger to creating scalable systems that support both agent growth and work-life balance, Corey offers a masterclass in leadership and vision in modern real estate.

Key Takeaways:The industrial sector is expected to see steady transaction volume in 2025, driven by interest rates remaining relatively stable. A potential interest rate drop could spur more activity.The office market is facing challenges, particularly with B and C class buildings, but 2025 is predicted to be a rebound year for leasing and pricing. Office to residential conversions will continue, but are limited in feasibility.The retail market is seeing softening in luxury segments, with a lack of new development. The focus is on quality deals rather than quantity, as it's difficult to replace existing retail space.When evaluating asset class performance, industrial, student housing, and senior living are highlighted as potential outperformers, though market-specific factors are crucial.Technology is playing a growing role, with AI tools for summarizing industry news and data, as well as data analytics platforms transforming site selection and tenant needs in the retail and office sectors.For job seekers in real estate, building connections in the industry and developing deep market expertise are key strategies to prepare for the 2026 job market.When selecting lenders, factors beyond just interest rates, such as loan terms, personal guarantees, and fees, should be carefully evaluated.

The New York real estate industry is fuming. New legislation might force landlords to pay the hefty broker's fees that tenants have traditionally paid to real estate companies.  Should the law pass, many landlords might skip brokerages to preserve their cash flow. They won't get much sympathy from tenants, though. With soaring New York rental prices and the city caught in an affordability crisis, renters are struggling to pay the sky-high fees brokers charge—usually 10% to 15% of the annual rent, not including a security deposit and first month's rent.  Keep reading the article here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/new-nyc-law-would-end-broker-fees Become a member of the BiggerPockets community of real estate investors - https://www.biggerpockets.com Learn more about your ad choices.

  In this episode of "The HyperFast Agent Show," Dan Lesniak addresses the question of whether a real estate brokerage needs to be profitable from an agent's perspective. He emphasizes that while agents, as independent contractors, can easily switch brokerages if needed, a brokerage's profitability ensures long-term stability and confidence. Non-profitable brokerages may cut benefits, services, and staff, increase commissions collected from agents, or force the adoption of ancillary services, all of which can negatively impact agents' productivity and income. Dan  advises agents to research and analyze the financial health of their brokerage, considering ownership structures and profitability claims. He cautions against brokerages that misrepresent themselves as technology companies or banks to justify their lack of profitability. Choosing a profitable brokerage with a proven business model reduces the likelihood of disruptive changes and ensures a sustainable business for agents.   If you are ready to join eXp realty and would like Dan Lesniak and Keri Shull to personally sponsor you so you have access to two nationally recognized coaching programs text 703-638-4393.   Join Dan as he discusses:    **Importance of Brokerage Profitability for Long-Term Stability:**    - Profitability ensures that the brokerage can maintain consistent services, benefits, and support for agents, reducing the risk of disruptive changes that could negatively impact agents' businesses.   **Potential Consequences of Non-Profitability:**    - Non-profitable brokerages may cut essential benefits and services, increase commissions and fees collected from agents, and force agents to adopt ancillary services, which can hinder agents' productivity and income.   **Advising Agents on Choosing a Brokerage:**    - Agents should thoroughly research the financial health and ownership structure of a brokerage, avoiding those that misrepresent their profitability and focusing on those with a proven, profitable business model to ensure a sustainable and stable working environment.
